Chapter 3: Bills

Bill related functions can be accessed from the main menu or by the side menu.

3.1 Unpaid Bills & Unused Credits, Overdue, Unpaid but Not Due, Paid

A summary of bills (invoices, debit notes) and credits (receipt vouchers, credit notes) that have been entered into EMAS Accounting can be seen on this page.

The Search Toolbar on the top of the page allows you to narrow down your search for bills. You can perform a search based on various criteria.

Clicking on any entry under the ‘Ref.’ column will bring you to the document associated with the bill or credit. Clicking on any value under the ‘Paid Amt.’ will bring you to the audit trail for the bill. (Refer to 3.2 Audit Trail (Bills) for detailed explanation.)

Choosing the options on the side menu will be the equivalent of choosing the ‘Report Type’ on the Search Toolbar.
